| This posts data exactly as specified with no extra processing whatsoever. |
| |
| If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a filename. Data |
| is posted in a similar manner as --data does, except that newlines and |
| carriage returns are preserved and conversions are never done. |
| |
| Like --data the default content-type sent to the server is |
| application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you want the data to be treated as |
| arbitrary binary data by the server then set the content-type to octet-stream: |
| -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream". |
| |
| If this option is used several times, the ones following the first will append |
| data as described in --data. |
